November  19,  1943. 

Stephen  C.  Garrity,  Esq. , 
State  Fire  Marshal, 
1010  Commonwealth  Avenue, 
Brookline,  Mass. 

Dear  Sir: 

In  accordance  with  section  3  of  chapter  148  of  the  General 
Laws  (Ter.  Ed.)  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts,    submit 
herewith  a  report  of  an  investigation  into  the  circumstances  of 
the  fire  which  occurred  at  the  Cocoanut  Grove,  17  Piedmont 
Street,  Boston,  Mass.,  on  November  28,  1942,  which  fire  resulted 
in  490  deaths  and  166  injuries,  as  recorded  by  the  Boston 
Committee  on  Public  Safety. 

A  report  of  this  fire,  upon  the  form  prescribed  by  the 
Commissioner  of  Public  Safety,  was  delivered  to  the  State  Fire 
Marshal  within  forty-eight  hours  of  the  fire,  as  required  by 
G.  L.  (Ter.  Ed. ) ,  c.  148,  s.  2. 

I  commenced  the  investigation  of  this  fire  on  Sunday, 
November  29,  1942.   The  State  Fire  Marshal,  the  Mayor  of  Boston, 
military  and  naval  authorities  and  representatives  of  the  Federal 
Bureau  of  Investigation  were  there  present. 

Hearings,  open  to  representatives  of  the  press,  were  held 
daily  thereafter,  except  Sundays,  at  Fire  Headquarters,  60 
Bristol  Street,  Boston,  Mass.,  until  Wednesday,  January  20, 
1943.   Public  hearings  were  suspended  at  that  time  to  avoid 
possible  interference  with  criminal  proceedings  initiated  by 
the  Attorney-General  and  the  District  Attorney  for  Suffolk 
County.   My  investigation,  however,  was  continued,  but  not  in 
public.   A  transcript  of  all  testimony  given  before  me  was 
forwarded  daily  to  the  District  Attorney  and  to  the  State  Fire 
Marshal . 

I  submit  herewith  various  diagrams,  descriptions,  findings 
and  recommendations  as  outlined  in  the  following  index. 

Yours  very  truly, 


Fire  Commissioner.

DESCRIPTION   OF   PREMISES. 

The  Cocoanut  Grove  was  a  night  club.  It  occupied  approximately  10,250  .square 
feet  and  was  open  only  during  the  evening  hours,  during  which  hours  food  and  liquor 
were  served  and  an  entertainment  program  offered.  The  restaurant  license  permitting 
the  sale  of  food  and  alcoholic  beverages  on  the  premises  had  been  issued  by  the  Boston 
Licensing  Board.  The  application  for  the  license  for  the  year  1942  stated  that  the 
premises  contained  100  tables,  400  chairs  and  30  fixed  stools. 

It  had  been  in  operation  as  a  night  club  since  1927,  at  the  same  address,  17  Piedmont 
street,  Boston.  One  previous  fire  was  recorded  as  having  occurred  at  this  location,  on 
November  2,  1931,  but  there  was  no  loss  of  property  or  life,  or  any  injuries  recorded  as 
having  been  caused  by  this  fire. 

The  principal  structure  occupied  by  the  Cocoanut  Grove  was  a  first-class  one-story 
building  of  reinforced  concrete,  erected  in  1916. 

It  had  a  frontage  on  Piedmont  street  of  about  seventy-five  (7.5)  feet.  Approximately 
half  of  the  building,  on  the  north  side,  extended  back  through  to  the  next  street  (Shawmut 
street),  a  distance  of  about  ninety-two  (92)  feet.  Adjoining  the  Shawmut  street  side  of  the 
principal  first-class  structure  were  two  second-class  buildings,  Nos.  4  and  li  Shawmut 
street.  Adjoining  these  second-class  buildings,  on  the  north,  was  still  another  second- 
class  building  facing  Broadway.  On  the  first  floor  of  this  building  facing  Broadway  was 
located  the  room  described  as  the  Broadway  Lounge.  This  room  had  been  newly  built 
and  had  been  opened  only  a  short  time  before  the  night  of  the  fire. 

The  public  had  access  to  the  following  portions  of  the  above-mentioned  group  of 
buildings : 

Street  floor  of  first-class  building  (17  Piedmont  street),  foyer,  Caricature  Bar,  and 
main  dining  room. 

Basement  floor  of  first-class  building  (Melody  Lounge). 

Street  floor  of  second-class  building  on  Broadway  (Broadway  Lounge). 

Eleven  fire  extinguishers  were  found  on  the  premises  after  the  fire,  four  of  which 
had  been  obviously  partly  used  or  tipped  over  during  the  fire.  The  others  were  found 
to  be  unused  and  in  good  operating  condition. 

PIEDMONT  STREET  ENTRANCE. 

The  main  entrance  was  at  17  Piedmont  street,  a  narrow  street  of  about  twenty-one 
(21)  feet  in  width  (from  curb  to  curb). 

The  entrance  door  was  of  a  revolving  type  recessed,  from  the  sidewalk  in  a  portico 
about  eighteen  (IS)  feet  wide  and  nine  (9)  feet  in  depth.  (See  photograph  attached, 
taken  after  the  fire.) 

To  the  left  of  the  revolving  door  (as  one  enters  from  the  street)  was  a  door  leading 
into  the  check  room  and  office.  (This  door  was  not  used  the  night  of  the  fire,  this  section 
being  used  as  a  check  room.)  The  window  to  the  left  of  the  portico  was  also  in  this  coat 
room  and  office. 

The  window  to  the  right  of  the  portico  was  one  of  those  in  the  rear  of  the  service 
bar.  The  basement  window  on  the  right  of  the  portico  led  into  the  storage  room  of  the 
basement .

FOYER. 

Inside  the  Piedmont  street  entrance  was  a  foyer,  leading  from  which  were  two  coat 
rooms  (one  of  which  was  also  used  as  an  office),  a  men's  room,  a  women's  room,  and  a 
telephone  room.  The  foyer  was  about  forty  (40)  feet  long  and  twelve  (12)  feet  wide  from 
wall  to  wall. 

At  the  westerly  end  of  the  foyer  (to  the  left  upon  entering  from  the  outside  of  the 
building)  there  was  a  corridor  leading  to  the  stairway  down  to  the  basement  Melody 
Lounge  (photo,  page  16). 

At  the  easterly  end  of  the  foyer  (to  the  right  upon  entering  from  the  outside  of  the 
building)  was  the  Caricature  Bar. 

The  Caricature  Bar  was  raised  approximately  one  and  one  half  (H)  feet  from  the 
floor  level  of  the  foyer  and  was  separated  from  the  foyer  by  a  railing.  (See  photograph 
attached,  taken  after  the  fire,  page  15.) 

The  furnishings  in  the  foyer  consisted  of  upholstered  settees  and  chairs,  arranged  in 
a  row  on  both  sides  of  the  room,  along  the  walls. 

The  ceiling  was  arched  and  finished  in  plaster. 

The  walls  were  covered  with  artificial  leather,  stretched  over  the  permanent  concrete 
structural  surfaces.  A  rattan  material  covered  the  walls  at  the  entrance,  from  baseboard 
to  a  height  of  approximately  six  (6)  feet  above  the  floor. 

The  flooring  was  of  linoleum  on  concrete. 

A  large  portable  electric  fan  was  located  in  the  corner  at  the  end  near  the  corridor 
to  the  Melody  Lounge  stairway.  A  heating  unit  (blower  type)  was  located  in  this  same 
corner  and  a  wall- type  covered  radiator  was  nearby. 

Exits  from  the  foyer  were  through  the  revolving  door  to  the  street;  through  the 
office  coat  room  to  the  street  (this  was  obstructed  by  a  coat  rack  and  a  lock);  through 
the  door  to  the  street  at  the  end  of  the  corridor  leading  to  the  basement  Melody  Lounge 
stairway  (this  door  was  locked) ;  and  through  the  other  end  of  the  lobby  into  the  main 
dining  room. 

A  drawing  is  attached  giving  an  outline  of  the  structural  layout  of  the  foyer  (page  9).

CARICATURE   BAR   SECTION. 

(Ailjiiinhiii  l-'ixji-r  and  Main  Dining  limnit.) 

This  area  of  the  first-class  one-story  structure  was  occupied  by  a  wooden  bar,  forty- 
eight  (4S)  feet  long,  faced  with  artificial  leather.  Bar  stools  were  of  metal,  covered  with 
artificial  leather.  On  the  Piedmont  street  side  of  the  room  was  another  bar,  described 
as  a  Service  Bar. 

The  ceiling  was  of  plasterboard  and  the  walls  were  of  wood  veneer  or  "Masonite," 
covered  with  artificial  leather. 

The  floor  was  of  linoleum  on  wood. 

A  large  exhaust  fan,  set  in  the  end  wall,  expelled  air  out  into  a  vacant  area  adjoining 
the  building. 

Means  of  exit  from  this  section  were  by  the  main  foyer  at  one  end,  and  on  the  main 
dining  room  side,  and  at  the  other  end  of  the  bar  through  the  passageway  leading  to  the 
Broadway  Lounge.  A  closed  balustrade,  about  forty  (40)  inches  high,  separated  the 
Caricature  Bar  area  from  the  main  dining  room. 

Four  casement  windows  behind  the  Service  Bar,  against  the  Piedmont  street  wall, 
were  not  used  as  egress  until  the  firemen  opened  them.  These  windows  were  in  normal 
operating  condition. 

A  drawing  is  attached  (page  19)  to  illustrate  the  structural  layout  of  this  area  of  the 
building.

THE   MAIN   DINING  ROOM. 

The  main  dining  room  was  on  the  north  side  of  the  first-class  one-story  structure 
(Shawmut  street  side).  It  occupied  a  square  space  of  about  sixty  (60)  feet  by  sixty  (60) 
feet  in  dimensions. 

On  the  Shawmut  street  side  a  tile  canopy  extended  in  from  the  outside  wall  about 
eight  (8)  feet,  and  the  floor  under  this  canopy-covered  portion  was  raised  about  six  (6) 
inches  above  the  main  floor  level.  (A  photograph,  taken  after  the  fire,  is  attached,  showing 
the  interior  view  of  this  section,  page  23.) 

On  the  opposite  side  of  the  room  was  a  similar  terrace  backing  up  to  the  Caricature 
Bar  area. 

At  the  west  end  of  the  room  there  was  a  raised  terrace  about  thirty-two  (32)  feet 
wide,  twelve  (12)  feet  deep  and  about  two  (2)  feet  above  the  main  floor  level.  The  front 
portion  of  this  terrace  was  surrounded  by  an  iron  railing  about  thirty-six  (36)  inches 
high.  (A  photograph  [interior  view],  taken  after  the  fire,  shows  this  section,  page  24.) 

On  the  east  end  of  the  room  (nearest  Broadway)  was  an  orchestra  platform  twenty  (20) 
feet  wide,  ten  (10)  to  fifteen  (15)  feet  deep  and  raised  about  four  (4)  feet  from  the  main 
floor.  (A  photograph,  taken  after  the  fire,  shows  this  section,  page  25.) 

The  center  of  the  room  was  used  as  a  dance  floor  with  tables  and  chairs  around  the 
outer  edges. 

Entrance  to  the  room  was  from  the  foyer  at  a  point  where  the  Caricature  Bar  ended 
on  the  west  side.  (A  photograph,  taken  after  the  fire,  shows  this  entrance  from  the 
foyer,  page  26.) 

A  service  stair  for  waiters  went  clown  to  the  basement  kitchen,  at  the  west  end  of 
the  room  near  the  Shawmut  street  wall. 

Adjoining  the  orchestra  platform  towards  the  Shawmut  street  wall  was  a  door 
leading  to  a  control  room  for  electric  switches,  to  a  stairway  to  the  basement,  and  to 
another  door  which  led  out  to  Shawmut  street  (this  Shawmut  street  door  was  locked 
the  night  of  the  fire),  and  to  a  dressing  room. 

Behind  the  orchestra  platform  and  the  control  room  was  the  above-mentioned 
dressing  room,  a  telephone  booth,  and  a  stairway  up  to  the  second  floor  of  the  adjoining 
second-class  building  in  which  they  were  located. 

The  roof  over  the  main  dining  room  was  an  automatic  rolling  device,  which  was 
usually  opened  up  in  the  summertime.  The  ceiling,  however,  was  covered  by  fabric  from 
wall  to  wall. 

The  orchestra  platform  was  lined  also  with  fabric  on  the  walls  and  ceiling,  and  a 
fabric  draw-curtain  could  be  closed  across  the  front  of  the  platform. 

The  Shawmut  street  wall  was  covered  by  a  wood  veneer  concealing  three  plate  glass 
windows.  (See  photograph  attached,  showing  exterior  view,  taken  after  the  fire,  page 27.) 

The  dance  floor  was  of  wood  on  concrete. 

Lighting  fixtures  included  bulbs,  located  in  cocoanut  shells  attached  to  six  artificial 
palm  trees  in  this  room. 

Ventilating  fans  were  located  over  the  exit  door  in  the  center  of  the  Shawmut  street 
wall,  and  at  the  head  of  the  stairs  to  the  kitchen,  near  the  terrace  at  the  west  end  of  the  room. 

There  were  four  exits  from  the  main  dining  room;  one  by  means  of  a  door  in  the 
center  of  the  Shawmut  street  wall;  another  by  the  stairs  (used  by  waiters)  to  the  kitchen; 
another  by  a  door  near  the  orchestra  platform  into  the  control  room  to  another  door  to 
Shawmut  street,  or  optionally  downstairs  to  the  part  of  the  basement  occupied  by  the 
heating  plant;  by  the  main  entrance  to  the  foyer,  and  another  through  the  passageway 
near  the  orchestra  platform  to  the  Broadway  Lounge. 

A  drawing  is  attached  (page  22)  to  illustrate  the  structural  layout  of  this  section  of 
the  building.

DRESSING   ROOMS. 

In  the  second-class  structure  (Nos.  4  to  6  Shawmut  street),  adjoining  the  first-class 
building  (located  between  the  main  dining  room  and  the  Broadway  Lounge),  on  the 
second  and  third  floors,  were  located  the  dressing  rooms  used  by  entertainers  employed 
at  the  Cocoanut  Grove. 

Entrance  to  these  rooms  was  from  a  door  leading  from  the  main  dining  room  near 
the  orchestra  platform  (on  the  Shawmut  street  side),  or  from  Shawmut  street  by  a  door 
at  the  foot  of  the  stairway  to  the  second  and  third  floors. 

The  dressing  rooms  had  ordinary  plaster  walls,  wooden  floors,  and  plaster  ceilings 
common  to  dwelling  houses.  Two  or  three  rooms  on  each  floor  had  apparently  been 
combined  into  one  large  room  for  use  by  groups  of  entertainers. 

Furniture  consisted  of  wooden  chairs,  make-up  tables  and  lockers. 

Exit  was  by  means  of  the  stairway  to  the  street  or  from  the  second  floor  through  a 
window  onto  a  roof. 

THE   BROADWAY   LOUNGE. 

This  room  was  about  forty  (40)  feet  by  forty  (40)  feet.  It  had  been  opened  to  the 
public  only  recently  and  was  located  in  the  east  end  of  the  premises  on  the  first  floor  of 
a  second-class  building  of  three  stories,  and  an  attic  (59  Broadway).  The  second  floor 
of  this  building  contained  motors  and  a  locker  room  for  employees  was  on  the  third  floor. 

The  public  had  access  only  to  the  first  floor. 

Connection  with  the  first-class  structure,  containing  the  main  dining  room,  was  by 
means  of  a  passageway. 

The  Broadway  Lounge  contained  a  coat  room,  a  men's  room,  ladies'  room,  a  bar, 
tables  and  chairs. 

The  walls  were  panelled  with  artificial  leather  attached  on  plywood. 

The  ceiling  was  of  a  soundproof  construction  and  fluorescent  lighting  fixtures  were 
attached  to  this  surface. 

The  floor  was  of  wood,  covered  with  carpet. 

Contract  for  a  ventilating  system  for  this  room  was  signed  in  September  or  October, 
1942,  calling  for  a  supply  and  exhaust  system. 

Exits  from  this  room  were  by  the  entrance  on  Broadway  and  by  the  passageway  in 
the  rear  of  the  room  leading  to  the  main  dining  room. 

Windows  on  the  Broadway  side  were  of  fixed  glass  block  construction. 

(Photographs  are  attached,  taken  after  the  fire,  showing  an  exterior  view  of  the 
entrance  from  Broadway;  an  interior  view  of  the  portion  of  the  Broadway  Lounge  adjoin- 
ing the  entrance  to  Broadway,  and  the  passageway  leading  from  the  main  dining  room 
to  the  Broadway  Lounge  —  pages  31,  32,  33.) 

A  drawing  illustrating  the  structural  layout  of  the  room  is  attached  also  (page  30).

MELODY   LOUNGE. 

In  the  basement  under  the  foyer  on  the  Piedmont  street  side  was  a  room  approxi- 
mately fifty-five  (55)  feet  long  by  thirty-five  (35)  feet  wide,  called  the  Melody  Lounge, 
designed  in  its  present  form  in  193S. 

This  room  contained  an  octagonal-shaped  bar  with  stools  arranged  against  all  front 
portions  of  the  bar.  Artificial  leather  was  used  on  the  front  surface  of  the  bar,  and  the 
seats  of  the  stools  were  covered  with  artificial  leather  also. 

Tables  and  chairs  occupied  the  remainder  of  the  floor  space. 

The  ceiling  was  covered  with  fabric,  attached  to  wooden  strips,  and  suspended  about 
sixteen  (16)  inches  from  the  concrete  structural  ceiling.  There  was  about  ten  (10)  feet 
of  head  room  in  this  Melody  Lounge. 

The  walls  were  lined  with  rattan  and  unfinished  wood. 

The  walls  of  the  stairway  to  the  first  floor  were  similarly  treated  with  some  fish  netting, 
also  attached  to  the  exterior  surface. 

The  floor  was  of  tile  on  concrete. 

Lighting  was  by  means  of  fluorescent  tubing  on  the  walls  and  by  small  light  bulbs  in 
cocoanut  shells  attached  to  five  artificial  palm  trees. 

Four  portable  air-conditioning  units  were  located  in  the  four  corners  of  this  room, 
and  heat  was  provided  by  means  of  blowers  suspended  from  the  ceiling. 

There  were  two  exits  from  this  room.  One,  by  means  of  the  stairway  up  to  the 
first  floor  (the  west  end  of  the  room),  at  the  head  of  which  stairway  was  located  a  door 
to  Piedmont  street.  (This  door  was  locked  the  night  of  the  fire.)  The  other  exit  was  by 
means  of  a  door  (used  by  waiters)  leading  to  a  passageway  to  the  kitchen.  Located  in 
this  passageway  was  a  door  leading  to  an  outside  alleyway.  (This  door  was  locked  the 
night  of  the  fire.)  Use  of  the  passageway  to  the  kitchen,  however,  led  to  exits  from  that 
room. 

A  photograph  is  attached  showing  the  door  to  the  street  at  the  head  of  the  stairway 
to  the  first  floor  from  the  Melody  Lounge  (page  37). 

Also  a  photograph  is  attached  showing  the  northwest  corner  of  the  Melody  Lounge, 
in  which  the  fire  started.  (Note  the  small  amount  of  burning  which  took  place  at  this 
location,  page  38.) 

A  drawing  is  likewise  attached  to  illustrate  the  structural  layout  of  this  room  (page  36).

KITCHEN    AND    HEATING    PLANT. 

The  kitchen,  in  the  basement,  approximately  thirty-four  (34)  feet  by  sixty-three 
feet  in  size,  adjoined  the  Melody  Lounge,  on  the  north  side  (Shawmut  street).  It 
contained  equipment  commonly  found  in  such  rooms,  namely,  .stores,  sinks,  refrigerators 
and  pantries. 

It  was  an  unfinished  room  with  concrete  floor,  walls  and  ceiling. 

Exits  were  by  means  of  a  stairway  to  the  main  dining  room  and  by  the  door  into  the 
passageway,  and  into  the  adjoining  room  occupied  by  the  heating  plant,  which  had  an 
exit  to  Shawmut  street,  called  the  service  door. 

The  heating  plant  was  contained  in  a  room  approximately  sixteen  (16)  feet  by  forty  (40) 
feet  in  size,  on  the  Shawmut  street  side.  It  adjoined  the  kitchen  and  its  contents  consisted 
of  a  furnace,  fired  by  oil  from  two  275-gallon  storage  tanks. 

Another  section  of  the  basement  (on  the  Piedmont  street  side)  adjoined  the  kitchen 
and  the  Melody  Lounge,  and  was  used  as  a  storage  vault. 

A  drawing  is  attached  illustrating  the  structural  layout  of  this  portion  of  the  basement 
(page  41).

DESCRIPTION    OF   THE   FIRE. 

The  fire  originated  in  the  Melody  Lounge,  the  basement  room  contained  in  the  fir-t- 
class  structure.  It  was  first  seen  burning  in  a  palm  tree  and  in  the  suspended  cloth  fal-e 
ceiling  in  the  northwest  corner  of  that  room.  (The  corner  one  would  face  upon  detruding 
the  stairway  from  the  foyer  and  turning  to  the  left  slightly  more  than  one-quarter  turn. 

The  fire  immediately  spread  throughout  the  Melody  Lounge,  along  the  underside  of 
the  false  ceiling.  It  readied  and  ascended  the  stairway  and  passed  thence  through  a 
connecting  corridor  into  the  foyer  located  on  the  street  floor  of  the  main  first -class  st  ructure. 
Thence  the  fire  proceeded  the  length  of  the  foyer  past  the  main  entrance  to  the  premier-, 
and  traversed  the  length  of  the  area  containing  the  Caricature  Bar,  which  area  was  struc- 
turally a  continuation  of  the  foyer.  From  this  area,  or  from  the  foyer  itself,  the  fire  spread 
to  the  main  dining  room.  Ultimately  the  fire  passed  from  the  street  floor  of  the  first-class 
structure  into  the  Broadway  Lounge. 

Flame  appeared  in  the  street  floor  lobby  within  two  to  four  minutes  after  it  was  first 
seen  in  the  basement  room,  and  within  five  minutes  entirely  traversed  the  street  floor  of 
the  main  building  and  had  passed  to  the  entrance  to  the  Broadway  Lounge. 

As  the  fire  rushed  up  the  stairway  leading  from  the  Melody  Lounge  it  traveled  near 
the  ceiling  and  above  the  heads  of  persons  ascending  the  stairs  to  make  their  way  out  of  the 
building.  Some  of  these  persons  later  testified  before  me  that  they  threw  their  coats 
over  their  heads  to  protect  themselves  against  the  fire  as  they  ascended  the  stairway. 

When  the  flame  appeared  in  the  street  floor  lobby  it  was  described  as  traveling  rapidly 
as  a  "ball  of  fire"  below  the  ceiling.  Many  witnesses  described  the  flame  as  of  yellowish 
or  bluish  color.  As  it  traveled  through  the  lobby  toward  the  Caricature  Bar  it  was  soon 
followed  by  a  thick  cloud  of  smoke.  As  the  flame  traveled  through  the  lobby,  a  number  of 
persons  attempting  to  make  their  way  out  of  the  building  sustained  burns  about  the  head, 
and  in  a  number  of  cases  the  hair  of  persons  in  the  lobby  became  ignited.  Upon  reaching 
the  main  dining  room,  the  flame,  moving  rapidly,  swept  high  about  the  room  near  the 
ceiling,  shortly  followed  by  a  cloud  of  dense  smoke  described  by  witnesses  ;is  acrid.  As  it 
passed  into  the  Broadway  Lounge  the  fire  was  traveling  near  the  ceiling. 

As  the  fire  spread  rapidly  from  the  lobby  into  the  main  dining  room,  a  number  of 
persons  were  caused  to  collapse.  Others  voluntarily  dropped  on  their  hands  and  knees 
to  the  floor  and  crawled  in  that  manner  to  the  door  on  the  Shawmut  street  side.  Still  other 
persons  who  were  in  the  Melody  Lounge  at  the  time  the  fire  broke  out  remained  there 
until  there  was  no  longer  any  flame  in  that  room,  and  later  found  their  way  to  the  exits  on 
the  street  floor. 

Until  such  time  as  they  were  brought  under  control,  the  flames  poured  out  of  the 
exits  on  Piedmont  street,  Shawmut  street  and  Broadway.  It  was  at  these  exits  as  well 
as  in  the  low  passageway  leading  from  the  Caricature  Bar  to  the  Broadway  Lounge  where 
the  bodies  of  many  of  the  patrons  were  found  piled  up. 

CAUSES  OF  THE   RAPID   SPREAD  OF  THE   FIRE. 

Plainly  a  large  and  extremely  hot  volume  of  burning  material,  largely  gaseous  in 
form,  appeared  at  the  top  of  the  stairway  leading  from  the  Melody  Lounge  to  the  street 
floor  within  two  to  four  minutes  of  the  first  appearance  of  flame  in  the  basement  room. 
The  tangible  material  contained  in  that  room,  and  actually  burned,  consisted  principally 
of  the  cloth  false  ceiling,  bamboo  and  rattan.  Much  of  the  doth,  rattan  and  bamboo 
contained  in  the  Melody  Lounge,  and  on  the  sides  and  lower  walls  of  the  stairway  lead- 
ing therefrom,  was,  in  fact,  not  burned  at  all,  and  the  same  is  true  of  the  carpet  on  the 
stairway,  contrary  to  all  usual  lire  experience. 

(43) 


I  find  that  a  major  part  of  the  great  volume  of  burning  gas  projected  to  the  first 
floor  consisted  of  carbon  monoxide  gas.  This  gas  had  arisen  as  a  by-product  of  the  fire, 
burning  with  deficiency  of  oxygen  in  the  low-studded  basement  room.  The  cloth  false 
ceiling  was  tacked  to  wooden  members  attached  to  the  underside  of  reinforced  concrete 
beams  in  such  a  manner  that  there  remained  a  dead  space  of  sixteen  inches  between  the 
actual  ceiling  and  the  false  ceiling  with  a  deficiency  of  oxygen  in  this  dead  space.  Under 
such  conditions  combustion  of  th?  cloth  was  incomplete,  and  occurred  largely  on  its 
underside  where  oxygen  was  available. 

Products  of  such  incomplete  combustion,  including  monoxide,  will  themselves  burn 
further  as  soon  as  additional  oxygen  is  encountered.  Furthermore,  under  the  conditions 
prevailing  in  the  basement  room,  there  was  no  ready  outlet  for  the  heat  generated  by 
such  partial  combustion  as  took  place.  Such  heat,  therefore,  increased  both  the  tem- 
perature and  the  pressure  of  the  partially  burned  gases,  and  acted  to  drive  them  forcefully 
to  the  nearest  available  outlet. 

The  rapidity  with  which  the  partially  burned  gases  moved  from  the  basement  room  is 
indicated  by  the  fact  that  many  of  the  wooden  strips  upon  which  the  cloth  ceiling  was 
tacked  remained  substantially  untouched  by  the  fire.  Some  of  the  cloth  itself  remained 
unharmed.  I  have  already  referred  to  the  fact  that  some  persons  remained  on  the  floor 
of  the  Melody  Lounge  and  later  (after  the  fire  had  been  brought  under  control  on  the 
street  floor)  escaped  up  the  stairway  and  through  the  street  floor  exits. 

The  fire  did  not  burn  itself  out  in  the  Melody  Lounge  primarily  because  in  that 
confined  space  it  lacked  sufficient  oxygen  for  complete  combustion,  and  lacked  also  ade- 
quate means  for  dissipation  of  heat  produced  by  the  partial  combustion  which  took 
place.  Instead,  it  projected  a  large  quantity  of  extremely  hot,  partially  burned  but  still 
inflammable,  gases  toward  and  up  the  stairway. 

Such  a  movement  was  accelerated  by  a  cause  independent  of  those  already  con- 
sidered. Comparatively  narrow  (four  (4)  feet)  and  rising  sharply,  the  stairway  acted 
like  a  chimney,  adding  a  draft  of  suction  to  the  pressure  generated  in  the  room  below 
by  heat.  Such  effect  appears  to  have  been  very  considerable,  since  it  drew  out  the  flame 
entirely,  leaving  unconsumed  the  wood  and  cloth  material  already  referred  to. 

In  the  stairway  itself  a  further  acceleration  of  the  process  occurred.  Here  the  par- 
tially burned  hot  gas  was  rapidly  mixed  and  churned  with  a  considerable  volume  of  air 
contained  in  the  stairway  itself.  The  further  combustion  resulting  increased  the  tem- 
perature and  rapidity  of  flow  of  the  mass.  I  have  already  referred  to  the  fact  that  much 
of  the  lower  wall  covering,  and  the  carpeting,  was  unburned.  This  is  a  further  indication 
of  the  high  elevation  of  the  fire  and  the  rapidity  of  its  flow. 

The  burning  mass  passed  from  the  top  of  the  stairway  into  a  narrow  connecting 
corridor  and  thence  to  the  street  floor  foyer.  The  wall  coverings  of  the  foyer,  consisting 
of  artificial  leather  on  cotton  batting  on  concrete,  which  would  be  unaffected  by  ordinary 
flame  such  as  that  from  a  match,  did  not  withstand  this  blast  of  superheated  burning 
gas.  The  burning  and  decomposition  of  such  wall  coverings  once  again  producing  mate- 
rial largely  gaseous,  capable  of  further  combustion  and  of  very  rapid  movement,  aug- 
mented the  blast  coming  from  the  basement.  Here  again  it  is  significant  that  much  of 
this  material  on  the  lower  part  of  the  walls  remained  unburned. 

At  this  point  the  only  available  direction  of  expansion  for  the  hot,  expanding  mass 
was  down  the  length  of  the  foyer.  Its  progress  in  that  direction  appears  to  have  been 
accelerated  by  a  large  ventilating  exhaust  fan  placed  over  the  further  end  of  the  Caricature 
Bar,  acting  to  draw  air  from  the  foyer  along  the  length  of  the  room  containing  the  Cari- 
cature Bar.  Such  fan  had  the  effect  of  increasing  the  chimney  effect  of  the  stairway 
already  referred  to. 

(44) 


The  great  mass  of  compressed  partially-burned  gases  spread  al  once  into  the  main 
dining  room  on  the  street  floor  of  the  first-class  building,  and  into  the  Broadway  Lounge 
on  the  street  floor  of  the  second-class  building  at  5!)  Broadway. 

In  the  intense  heat  which  resulted  from  the  progres.-  of  I  lie  fire,  decomposition  of 
practically  all  combustible  material  in  certain  portions  of  the  building  resulted.  In  other 
sections  little  burning  occurred  and  in  these  sections  it  is  safe  to  assume  the  majority  of 
persons  who  escaped  were  located. 

If  all  the  exits  had  been  open,  obviously  more  people  would  have  gotten  out  of  the 
building  alive,  and  there  would  have  been  less  retention  of  gases,  heat  and  fire  in  the 
building.  But  even  then  many  casualties  would  still  have  resulted,  as  fire  and  person < 
would  still  have  had  to  rely  upon  the  same  means  of  egress. 

As  far  as  the  Melody  Lounge  is  concerned,  if  this  had  been  a  higher  studded  room, 
even  though  the  fabric  false  ceiling  burned  completely,  with  a  large  crowd  present  in  the 
room  there  would  not  have  resulted  such  a  compression  of  ga>es,  heat  and  fire. 

FIRE   DEPARTMENT  OPERATIONS. 

At  10.1")  p.  m.,  on  November  2S,  1<)42,  an  alarm  was  received  at  Fire  Alarm  Head- 
quarters from  Box  1514,  situated  at  Stuart  and  Carver  streets.  At  the  time  of  I  his  alarm,  and 
Subsequently,  the  weather  was  clear  and  cold,  the  temperature  being  slightly  below  freezing 
(28.1  degrees),  and  the  air  being  very  dry.  When  the  apparatus  which  had  responded 
to  the  alarm  arrived  at  the  box  a  small  fire  was  found  in  an  automobile  at  the  corner  of 
Stuart  street  and  Broadway.  This  fire  was  quickly  extinguished  and  the  firemen  were 
about,  to  return  to  their  quarters  when  their  attention  was  called  to  smoke  emanating 
from  the  Cocoanut  Grove  a  few  doors  away.  Upon  their  arrival  at  the  entrance  to  the 
Broadway  Lounge  on  Broadway,  they  found  a  number  of  persons  leaving  the  premises 
amidst  cries  of  "fire."  The  chief  in  charge  of^the  companies  present,  immediately  ordered 
a  ''third  alarm1'  to  lie  sounded  from  Box  1521,  which  alarm  was  received  at  Fire  Alarm 
Headquarters  at  10.23  p.  in.  An  alarm  had  been  given  by  some  civilian  earlier  and  was 
received  at  Headquarters  at  10.20  p.  m.  When  it  became  apparent  to  the  chief  in  charge 
that  the  immediate  problem  was  one  of  rescue,  he  ordered  a  "fourth  alarm"  which  was 
received  at  10.24  p.  m.  A  "fifth  alarm"  was  received  at  Headquarters  at  11.02  p.  in. 

Upon  reaching  the  night  club  premises,  rescue  work  was  immediately  begun  by  the 
firemen  who  had  responded  to  the  automobile  fire.  To  facilitate  this  work,  hose  lines 
were  introduced  to  reduce  the  intense  heat.  Shortly  after  the  firemen  gained  entrance 
to  the  premises  the  fire  was  controlled  and  the  intense  heat  was  abated. 

The  apparatus  responding  to  the  five  alarms  was  comprised  of  twenty-five  engine 
companies,  five  ladder  companies,  one  water  tower,  one  rescue  company  and  other  emer- 
gency apparatus.  The  first  water  delivered  on  the  fire  was  through  the  door  of  the  Broad- 
way Lounge  on  Broadway,  by  the  companies  who  had  discovered  the  fire  while  engaged 
at  the  small  fire  in  the  automobile  at  Stuart  street.  Subsequently,  water  lines  were 
operated  on  Piedmont  street,  Broadway  and  Shawmut  street.  Hose  lines  were  intro- 
duced through  windows  and  doors  of  the  main  building  to  the  first  floor,  by  way  of  the 
Shawmut  street  entrance  to  the  kitchen,  and  through  the  Piedmont  street  entrances  to 
the  Melody  Lounge.  Ladders  were  raised  on  Piedmont  street.  Shawmut  street  and 
Broadway,  and  vents  were  opened  to  permit  egress  for  the  fire  as  well  as  to  provide  access 
for  hose  streams.  In  all,  eighteen  streams  were  operated  for  the  purpose  of  quickly  cool- 
ing the  areas  to  facilitate  prompt  rescue  work. 

CIVILIAN   AND  OTHER   COOPERATION. 

Soon  after  the  first  alarm  Mayor  Maurice  ./.  Tobin  arrived  at  the  scene  of  the  fire. 
accompanied  by  the  Fire  Commissioner  and  the  Building  ( 'ommi>sioner.  The  Police 

(45) 


Commissioner  and  the  Superintendent  of  Police  were  already  on  the  scene,  having  re- 
sponded from  Police  Headquarters  a  few  blocks  away.  The  State  Fire  Marshal  and  the 
Acting  Commissioner  of  Public  Safety,  John  F.  Stokes,  were  promptly  upon  the  scene, 
as  was  the  Director  of  the  Boston  Committee  on  Public  Safety,  Mr.  John  J.  Walsh,  who 
was  inside  the  premises  when  the  fire  started  and  who  proved  to  be  a  most  reliable  witness 
as  to  what  occurred  inside  the  building  when  the  fire  broke  out. 

Mayor  Tobin  directed  the  organization  of  all  agencies  outside  of  the  building, 
including  the  Civilian  Defense  units,  the  Red  Cross  and  Salvation  Army,  and  arranged 
for  accommodations  in  the  various  hospitals  in  the  metropolitan  area. 

The  assistance  of  the  many  agencies  which  responded  to  this  fire  was  of  incalculable 
value.  No  one  can  measure  sufficiently  the  amount  of  merit  due  to  members  of  the 
United  States  Army,  the  United  States  Navy,  the  Coast  Guard  and  members  of  the 
Civilian  Defense  units;  nor  can  the  value  of  the  accommodations  provided  by  nearby 
hotels  and  hospitals,  transportation  provided  by  taxicabs,  the  treatment  and  handling 
by  various  doctors  and  nurses  connected  with  hospitals  and  various  emergency  first-aid 
stations,  be  adequately  described.  The  officials  at  the  City  Morgue  likewise  rendered 
sympathetic  service  and  the  acts  of  many  members  of  the  clergy  were  no  less  heroic  than 
the  acts  performed  by  the  firemen  themselves. 

The  Police  Department  provided  ambulance  service,  maintained  law  and  order 
in  the  vicinity,  roped  off  streets,  and  provided  routes  for  emergency  vehicles  to  function 
in  carrying  off  the  injured  and  dead  to  points  remote  from  the  scene. 

Stretcher  bearers,  made  up  of  Red  Cross  workers,  other  civilians  and  service  men, 
remained  throughout  the  night  performing  their  functions  efficiently.  Nearby  holds 
provided  blankets  and  extra  supplies  required  in  the  care  of  victims.  Neighboring 
buildings  were  opened  and  the  owners  or  occupants  made  available  every  facility  for 
the  sheltering  of  those  affected  by  or  serving  at  the  fire.  Military  police  aided  local 
police  in  countless  ways. 

Ambulances,  doctors  and  nurses,  responded  from  miles  around,  offering  an  inspiring 
testimonial  of  cooperation  and  sympathy  in  the  handling  of  victims  of  the  fire,  and  in 
the  furnishing  of  information  to  relatives  and  friends  of  persons  reported  to  have  been 
on  the  premises. 

Out-of-town  fire  departments  from  neighboring  communities  responded  voluntarily 
and  likewise  rendered  great  assistance  throughout  all  operations  at  the  scene. 

CAUSES  OF   LOSS  OF   LIFE. 

At  the  time  when  the  fire  was  first  seen  there  were  approximately  one  thousand 
persons  on  the  premises.  A  show  was  about  to  be  commenced  on  the  stage  situated 
in  the  main  dining  room  on  the  street  floor  of  the  first-class  building. 

While  it  is  not  clear  that  the  electrical  system  was  completely  disrupted,  most  of 
the  lights  on  the  premises  became  extinguished  immediately  upon  appearance  of  the  fire. 
This  fact,  coupled  with  the  appearance  of  smoke  and  flame  and  the  cries  of  "fire,"  pro- 
duced great  confusion  among  the  persons  present  on  the  premises.  Apart  from  testimony 
of  many  witnesses,  this  fact  was  made  apparent  by  the  presence  of  overturned  tallies 
and  chairs. 

A  considerable  number  of  deaths  was  caused  by  the  fact  that  the  door  opening  on 
Piedmont  street,  at  the  top  of  the  stairway  from  the  Melody  Lounge,  could  not  be  opened 
by  persons  who  ascended  the  stairway  from  that  room  after  the  fire  was  first  seen. 
Although  this  door  was  provided  with  a  so-called  panic  lock,  such  installation  was  rendered 
useless  by  the  existence  of  another  lock  which  was  found  in  a  locked  position. 

(46) 


Further  deaths  were  caused  by  the  fact  I  hat  members  of  (lie  pulilic  \vere  unfamiliar 
\villi  the  location  of  the<exits.  The  effect  of  this  fact  was,  of  course,  accentuated  by  tlie 
failure  of  the  lights.  Its  effect  is  further  shown  by  the  fact  that  many  of  the  employers, 
familiar  with  the  arrangement  of  the  premises,  succeeded  in  making  their  way  out  of 
the  premises  both  through  exits  normally  open  to  the  public  and  through  others  leading 
from  the  kitchen  and  dressing  rooms.  Some  members  of  the  public  also  made  use  of  the 
lat  ter  exits. 

I  find,  however,  that  the  great  part  of  the  deaths  which  actually  resulted  are  not 
attributable  to  the  factors  just  set  forth.  I  have  been  led  1<>  this  conclusion  by  several 
considerations. 

Persons  who  actually  escaped  from  the  premises  may  be  divided  into  three  classes. 
A  number  of  persons  escaped  through  available  exits  on  the  street  floor  before  the  Maine 
actually  reached  such  exits.  A  smaller  number  of  persons  escaped  through  such  exits 
after  the  flame  had  reached  them  and  had  subsequently  been  beaten  away  or  extinguished 
by  operations  of  the  Fire  Department.  Some  of  these  persons,  who  lay  on  the  floor  of  the 
Melody  Lounge  until  the  fire  passed  from  that  room  up  to  the  street  floor,  and  who  subse- 
quently escaped  up  the  stairway  and  through  street  floor  exits,  I  have  referred  to  above. 
A  third  class  of  persons  escaped  through  exits  leading  from  the  kitchen,  and  through  win- 
dows, which  exits  and  windows  were  never  at  any  time  reached  by  the  flame. 

Those  who  escaped,  therefore,  passed  through  available  exits  at  a  time  when  no  flame 
was  so  passing.  Such  escape  was  not  possible  with  respect  to  most  of  the  open  exits  once 
the  fire  had  spread  throughout  the  first  floor.  As  I  have  found  above,  the  substance  of 
the  fire  was  a  highly-heated,  partially  burned  but  still  burning,  compressed  volume  of  gas. 
By  its  nature  this  gas  pressed  for  every  available  opening,  and  I  have  found  that  this  was 
the  cause  of  its  rapid  course  throughout  the  premises.  The  same  factors  caused  it  to 
press  rapidly  towards  exits,  and  to  pour  through  such  exits  to  the  outer  air. 

I  find,  therefore,  that  within  two  to  five  minutes  of  the  first  appearance  of  the  fire 
most  of  the  possible  exits,  including  all  exits  normally  open  to  the  public,  were  useless. 
Pouring  of  fire  through  such  exits  made  it  impossible  for  humans  to  pass  simultaneously 
through  these  exits  safely.  In  the  course  of  such  pouring,  the  mass  of  burning  gaseous 
material  appears  to  have  been  depressed  from  its  high  elevation  within  the  premises  in 
order  to  pass  through  the  exits.  The  finding  of  bodies  piled  up  at  many  of  the  exits  is 
attributable  to  this  fact.  These  persons  in  attempting  to  pass  through  the  exits  were 
overcome  by  the  great  heat  of  the  gaseous  material  pouring  through  them  at  the  same 
time.  To  the  same  cause  must  be  set  down  the  bodies  found  in  the  passageway  in  the 
corridor  at  the  head  of  the  stairway  leading  from  the  Melody  Lounge.  In  pouring  through 
these  low-ceilinged  passageways  the  mass  of  gaseous  material  passed  so  close  to  such  per- 
sons as  to  overcome  them. 

The  findings  I  have  just  made  apply  to  the  revolving  door  on  Piedmont  street.  Some 
few  persons,  including  persons  coming  from  the  Melody  Lounge  in  the  basement,  passed 
through  this  door  before  the  mass  of  flame  actually  reached  it..  The  door  appears  then 
to  have  jammed.  I  find,  however,  that  there  was  a  very  great  pouring  of  flame  through 
this  exit,  the  volume  of  which  was  made  plain  by  the  charred  condition  of  the  stucco  ex- 
terior of  the  building  at  this  point.  Apart  from  jamming,  (his  door  could  not.  by  reason 
of  such  pouring  of  fire,  have  served  as  an  available  exit,  once  the  mass  of  fire  and  flaming 
gas  had  reached  it,  which  was  within  two  or  four  minutes  from  the  first  appearance  of  the 
fire  in  the  basement  room.  In  this  connection  I  find  that  the  great  majority  of  person- on 
the  street  floor  had  no  warning  of  the  fire  until  flames  actually  appeared  in  the  lobby. 

I  find,  therefore,  that  the  principal  cause  of  the  large  loss  ()f  life  was  the  extremely 
rapid  spread  of  the  fire  throughout  the  premises,  and  the  partial  pouring  of  the  fire  through 

(47) 


most  of  the  available  exits,  including  all  exits  normally  open  to  the  public.  Such  rapid 
spread  and  pouring  of  fire  was  attributable  to  the  peculiar  gaseous  nature  of  the  fire,  and 
the  high  temperature  and  the  pressure  of  the  gaseous  material. 

Persons  unable  to  escape  through  the  exit  doors  were  thus  exposed  to  the  effects  of 
the  carbon  monoxide  gas,  the  superheated  air,  or  the  flames  themselves,  in  various  parts 
of  the  building. 

The  death  certificates  signed  by  the  Medical  Examiners  further  bear  out  these  con- 
clusions, as  do  the  hospital  records  describing  the  appearance  and  condition  of  victims 
treated. 

CAUSE  OF  THE   FIRE. 

From  all  the  evidence  before  me  I  am  unable  to  determine  the  original  cause  or  causes 
of  this  fire. 

I  find  no  evidence  of  incendiarism. 

A  bus  boy,  aged  sixteen,  employed  by  the  Cocoanut  Grove  on  the  night  of  the  fire, 
testified  to  lighting  a  match  in  the  process  of  replacing  an  electric  light  bulb  in  the  corner 
of  the  Melody  Lounge,  where  the  fire  started,  and  dropping  the  match  to  the  floor  and 
stepping  upon  it.  After  a  careful  study  of  all  the  evidence,  and  an  analysis  of  all  the 
facts  presented  before  me,  I  am  unable  to  find  the  conduct  of  this  boy  was  the  cause  of 
the  fire. 

I  have  investigated  and  carefully  considered,  as  possible  causes  of  the  fire,  the  following 
suggested  possibilities:  Alcoholic  fumes,  inflammable  insecticides,  motion  picture  film 
scraps,  electrical  wiring,  gasoline  or  fuel  oil  fumes,  refrigerant  gases,  flame-proofing  chemi- 
cals. There  is  no  evidence  before  me  to  support  a  finding  that  any  of  these  or  any  com- 
bination of  them  caused  this  fire. 

This  fire  will  be  entered  in  the  records  of  this  department  as  being  of  unknown  origin. 

EXTENT  OF   PROPERTY  DAMAGE. 

The  fire  conditions  alone,  while  fatal  to  many  of  the  occupants,  were  at  no  time  of 
sufficient  size  to  challenge  the  resources  of  the  Fire  Department  after  response  to  the 
alarm. 

Rescue  work  was  the  first  object  of  the  responding  fire  companies.  Had  the  building 
been  unoccupied  the  fire  could  have  been  extinguished  even  more  promptly  than  it  was. 
The  extent  of  damage  to  the  building  and  material  contents,  therefore,  was  perhaps 
greater  than  it  would  have  been  under  ordinary  circumstances.  It  was  a  quick-burning 
fire,  which  expended  itself  soon  after  the  firemen  attacked  it;  but  certain  portions  of  the 
building  (the  roof  structure,  for  example)  burned  for  a  longer  time  than  would  have  been 
the  case  under  different  conditions. 

The  insured  loss  amounted  to  an  estimated  $122,500,  as  follows: 

On  buildings       .  $60,000  00 

On  contents        .        .  60,000  00 

Exposure  loss,  6  Shawmut  street   .  2,50000 

$122,500  (Mi 
Kstimated  loss  on  contents,  not  insured $12,000  00 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

From  every  tragedy  of  the  magnitude  of  the  Cocoanut  Grove  fire  lessons  are  learned 
by  safety  authorities,  as  well  as  by  the  public  at  large,  concerning  conditions  giving  rise 

(48) 


(o  al)noi-nially  great  hazards  not  previously  fully  recognized.  Sonic  of  (lie  mailers  upon 
which  attention  was  focused  by  t  lie  ( 'ocoaiiut  ( Irovc  fire  have  already  received  I  he  at  tent  ion 
of  the  (leneral  Court.  Comprehensive  legislation  passed  in  1043  defined  lor  the  first 
time  a  "place  of  assembly,"  and  enacted  stringent  requirement-  to  govern  thl-  type  uf 
occupancy,  among  them  being  the  re(iuirement  of  a  certificate  of  safety  for  each  such 
structure,  specifying  the  maximum  number  of  persons  to  be  admitted,  and  a  prohibition 
of  the  use  of  revolving  doors  therein.  Pursuant  to  a  resolve  of  the  same  session,  other 
allied  questions  have  been  referred  to  a  committee  appointed  to  make  a  thoroughgoing 
study  of  all  matters  relating  to  the  safety  of  the  public  in  "places  of  assembly.  " 

It  seems  proper  to  set  out,  for  the  consideration  of  the  committee  referred  to,  certain 
matters  which  have  come  to  my  attention  in  the  course  of  my  investigation.  The  advis- 
ability of  enacting  into  law  the  requirements  set  forth  below  warrants  serious  attention 
and  consideration  by  those  charged  with  the  duty  of  recommending  legislation. 

1.  Installation  of  automatic  sprinklers  in  any  room  occupied  as  a  restaurant,  night 
club,  or  place  of  entertainment. 

1*.  Prohibition  of  the  use  of  basement  rooms  as  places  of  assembly,  unless  provision 
is  made  for  at  least  two  direct  means  of  access  to  the  street  with  installation  of  metal- 
covered  automatic  closing  fire  doors  being  required  in  any  passage  existing  between  base- 
ment room  and  first  floor. 

3.  Requirement    of  defined  aisle  space   between   tables  in   restaurants,   such   tables 
to  be  firmly  affixed  to  the  floor  to  prevent  upsetting  and  obstruction  of  means  of  egress. 

4.  Exit  doors  in   places  of  assembly  to  have  so-called  panic  locks  and  no   others. 
Such  exits  to  be  marked  by  illuminated  "KXIT"  signs  with  the  minimum  candle  power 
to  be  specified  in  the  law,  and  supplied  by  an  electrical  system.     Such  system  might  also 
be  permitted  to  serve  a  few  recessed  or  box-type  fixtures,  for  emergency  use  as  guide 
lights  in  the  event  of  failure  of  the  main  lighting  system. 

5.  Absolute  prohibition  of  any  fabric  or  material  containing  pyroxylin  in  places  of 
assembly. 

(i.  Absolute  prohibition  in  any  place  of  assembly  of  the  use  of  any  suspended  cloth 
false  ceiling. 

7.  Window  openings  of  sufficient  area,  equipped  with  louvers  secured  by  a  fusible 
link  so  as  to  open  automatically  when  subjected  to  heat,  for  the  purpose  of  drawing  off 
flames  or  gases,  should  be  required  in  basement  rooms  used  as  places  of  public  assembly. 
A  major  lesson  of  this  fire  is  that  persons  and  fire  must  be  provided  with  separate  means 
of  exit.  The  law  already  requires  the  installation  of  vents  above  stages  in  theater-. 
See  General  Laws  (Ter.  I'M.),  chapter  143,  section  L'7:  Boston  Building  Code,  section  30!). 
Whatever  may  be  the  width  of  exits,  lives  of  persons  remain  in  jeopardy  so  long  as  flame 
is  allowed  to  escape  through  such  exits.  Stairways,  particularly,  in  the  absence  of  such 
vents,  become  chimneys  for  the  flame.  This  recommendation  is  in  line  with  a  basic 
principle  of  firefighting  the  immediate  creation  of  vents  in  the  roof  of  a  burning 
structure  in  order  to  allow  the  flame  to  escape  upward  out  of  the  building. 

In  connection  with  this  suggestion,  I  feel  that  the  committee  might  properly  consider 
the  need  of  securing  a  comprehensive  scientific  investigation  to  determine  the  effect  of 
the  ventilation  characteristics  of  buildings  as  influences  upon  the  :-preading  of  tire,  cover- 
ing not  only  the  characteristics  of  physical  structure  arrangement  of  rooms,  corridors, 
stairways  and  the  like  but  also  the  effect  of  ventilating  machinery  in  connection  there- 
with. While  it  is  evident,  from  the  findings  above  made,  that  cau-es  of  thi<  type  were 
of  paramount  importance  in  the  rapid  spreading  of  this  tire,  specific  remedial  measures. 
including  the  last  suggested  above  for  the  consideration  of  the  committee,  cannot  in  my 
opinion  be  adequately  formulated  in  the  absence  of  such  a  scientific  investigation.
